WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 18 a '| as follows: one $1000 prize, two $500 | Mrs. Archibald Lynne and little NEWEST FORDS GET NEW LINES Bodies to Be Longer, Lower and All-Steel Body changes and chassis refine- ments more.pronounced than any made since the adoption of the Model T chassis were announced this week by the Ford Motor company, the Skokie Motor company, local dealers. There will be no advance in price, it also was stated. Outstanding features of the improve- ments in both open and enclosed types are lower, all-steel bodies on a lowered chassis, complete new design in most body types, a change from black to color in closed cars, larger, lower fenders, newly designed seats and larger, more powerful brakes. Give Smart Appearance Longer lines, effected through higher radiator and redesigned cowl and bodies are apparent in all the improved Ford cars, but are especially pro- nounced in the open types. Wide crown fenders hung close to the wheels contribute to the general effect of low- ness and smartness. While runabout and touring car re- main black, the closed bodies are fin- ished in harmonious color schemes, en- hanced by nickel radiators. The coupe and tudor bodies are finished in deep channel green while the fordor is rich Windsor maroon. Add to Comfort Greater comfort is provided for river and passengers in both open and closed cars by larger compart- ments, more deeply cushioned seats and greater leg room. Many new conveniences are also in- corporated in the improved cars. In the runabout, touring car, coupe and tudor, the gasoline tank is under the cowl, and filled through an ingeniously located filler cap completely hidden from sight by a cover similar in ap- pearance to a cowl ventilator. One piece windshield and narrowed pillars inthe tudor and coupe offer the driver greatly increased visibility 'and im- proved ventilation. i More Convenient Pedals Driving comfort is materially in- creased by lower seats, scientifically mproved back rests and lowered steer- ing wheel. Brake and clutch pedals are wider and more . conveniently spaced. Four doors are now provided on the touring car and two on the runabout, permitting the driver to take his place from the left side of the car. Curtains, held secure by rods, open with the doors. Most important in the mechanical changes are the improved brakes. The transmission brake drum and bands have been considerably increased in size which gives the foot brake softer and more positive action as well as longer life. The rear wheel brake drums are larger and the brake of self energizing type. Cord Tires Standard Cord tires are now standard equip- ment on all Ford cars. _ At the main offices of the company it was stated today that production of the new line is under way in all assem- bly plants of the company throughout the country and the improved cars are being sent to dealers for showing. Health Technician Is Latest for Township A new feature planned by the Chi- cago Tuberculosis Institute is the ad- dition of a laboratory technician to its staff. The Institute now has 18 health centers including New Trier at which clinics are held. As these clinics involve general health inspec- tions, chest examinations and infant welfare work it is necessary to have laboratory tests for sputum, etc., in connection with them. The Institute finds its program developing so rapidly that it now needs its own technician for this work. She will have her office and laboratory at the Oak Park health center and expects to begin work there very shortly. This service is also provided for by Christmas seals. Marywood Provides Bus Service for Its Pupils The Marywood Academy, 2228 Ridge avenue, Evanston, conducted under the supervision of the Sisters of Providence and attended by many north shore girls, has arranged a motor coach serv- ice to convey grammar school pupils to and from their homes in the New Trier communities," it was announced this week.
